Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After discussing with his companions, Gordon made the decision to rest for a few days and continue heading north after Pork Chops returned to the team.

The clues about the Flame King Dragon have been broken. Apart from knowing that it did have a battle with a powerful creature before its death, there are no other reliable clues.

As for whether that monster is the "Nergigant" that the Grand Leader has been tracking for decades, no one can guarantee it.

However, the astonishingly powerful claw attack is indeed consistent with the Grand Leader's description of the Nergigante.

According to the information shared by the grand leader, Nergigante is one of the few ancient dragons that does not control some kind of energy, and does not even have the ability to breathe, and relies purely on its physical body to fight.

Similar situations generally only occur in super giant ancient dragons, such as Laoshanlong and Fengshanlong.

These two are relatively extreme cases. It is not that there is no special energy in their bodies. For example, the materials of Laoshan Dragon are rich in dragon-attribute energy, and the materials of Fengshan Dragon are rich in water-attribute energy.

They lost the ability to harness this energy because over countless years of evolution, these abilities were eliminated.

Their extremely large size is enough to allow them to ignore any opponent, and their excess abilities will only become a burden that robs them of nutrients.

The grand leader believes that the Nergigante is in a similar situation, except that it relies not on its size, but on its extremely powerful body.

Amazing muscle strength, super-fast self-recovery ability, excellent flying ability, and spikes all over its body.

All this is enough to make it an opponent that many ancient dragons must be afraid of or even fear.

Now that you have decided to continue pursuing such an existence, it is impossible not to make good preparations.

The shooters who had consumed a lot of ammunition in order to stop the corpse dragon started their collection journey again.

Logistics supplies are always the most troublesome thing for shooters.

They didn't feel anything when they had their backs against the Star Stronghold, but when they arrived at the isolated research base, they had to do everything by themselves.

The only good thing is that they adjusted their supplies before departure and did not carry finished ammunition, but a large amount of gunpowder.

The most expensive materials required for diffusion bombs and armor-piercing grenades—diffusion fruits and explosion fruits—are produced on the Coral Plateau itself.

Combined with the piles of gunpowder, shooters can mix several times the amount of ammunition they carry with them.

This is why they still don't have to worry about running out of ammunition after experiencing several intense battles.

The four hunters worked separately. They hoped to collect a sufficient number of diffusion fruits and exploding fruits within one to two days. After all, it takes a lot of time to reconcile ammunition.

Gale leads Sandstone through colorful coral reef rocks.

Sandstone bounced along the way, and every once in a while he would take off the new shield behind him and wave it twice. He said it was because he was familiar with the feel, but in fact it was because he was addicted to the new equipment and couldn't put it down.

Enhanced by the excellent bone materials obtained from the bone mound, the strength of its protective shield has increased by more than one level.

Gale, who believed in "letting yourself go" not only didn't say anything, but smiled and flicked the hair tufts on the tips of Detel's ears.

"How about I find you an opponent to practice with?"

"Okay, meow! I just saw the footprints of the cat-saurus, meow!"

"You bastard cat lizard, don't you think you'll dirty your new shield by doing that thing? It must be at least the level of a flying dragon!"

"Fei Fei Long Meow?!"

"Are you afraid of flying dragons?" Gale deliberately put on an expression of "That's it?"

Sandstone held up his new shield and argued dissatisfiedly, "It's the warrior's excitement, meow!"

"That's pretty much it." Gale chuckled, "I'll hold the line for you. If you see a flying dragon or something, just move up."

"But we're not on a mission, cat. Doesn't this count as poaching?"

"Steal a furry hunt, beat it once and then run away. It's just for training and there's no need for it."

Sandstone scratched his ears and felt that what his master said made sense, without any awareness that he was being gradually assimilated.

One person and one cat searched carefully, but the real purpose of the trip had long been forgotten by them.

It didn't take long for them to discover something - it was a long and narrow claw mark covered in frost.

"The monster that uses frost on the Coral Platform, the Wind Drifting Dragon, hehehe, you're lucky!" Gale raised his eyebrows and knelt down, collected some boulders and put them into the insect guide cage.

The guide insect responded quickly, flew out of the insect cage, and began to guide the path of the scent.

One person and one cat monster smiled and started to follow.

The target was very close. They ran on the naturally formed mountain path for a few minutes, then slid down a slope and came to the edge of a cliff.

From here, the light path guided by the guide insect went vertically downward, and they poked their heads out from the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Sure enough, on the platform below the cliff, a beautiful flying dragon with dark blue as the main color was suspended in the air, screaming condescendingly, as if it was confronting something.

Gale squinted.

The shooter's excellent eyesight allowed her to quickly see clearly that Feng Piaolong's target was actually a person.

She immediately set up the light crossbow [Crown of Thorns], loaded the ammunition, and prepared to support the shooting. The sandstone also tightened the large shield and slid down quickly along the vines hanging down the cliff.

However, the man was faster than them.

She raised a "weapon" that looked like a light crossbow but had a much simpler structure than the light crossbow, and continuously pulled the trigger toward the Fengdiaolong in mid-air.

Gale, who was aiming at the target, made a move.

The moment she saw the man setting up his weapon, she thought he had bumped into his colleague. After all, the thing in his hand looked very much like a light crossbow.

But there is no unique roar of the ballista when it is activated.

This means that the opponent did not use "crossbow bullets" in the conventional sense. After all, in order to pursue power, even the most basic normal bullets will be propelled by gunpowder.

This means that the thing is definitely not a light crossbow, but some kind of "small toy" similar to a projectile.

Just when she was stunned, several clouds of brown mist exploded on Feng Piaolong's face.

A foul smell filled the air, and it was obvious that the man was using fertilizer bombs.

The pungent odor greatly irritated the Fengdiaolong with a keen sense of smell. It shook its head vigorously, but it was still unable to get rid of the stench. Finally, it screamed strangely, flapped its wings and left.

The man breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he noticed the light path formed by the guide insects in the air, and was suddenly stunned.

Her eyes darted left and right.

Soon, he saw the sandstone approaching here, and Gale who put down the ballista on the cliff and waved to him. An embarrassed look flashed on his face.

Two people and one cat will get together.

Gale looked at the other party curiously. She was an elderly lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies. Her hair had turned gray, but her limbs were still strong and strong.

Her bronze complexion and outfit bearing the coat of arms of the investigation team proved that she was an investigator who had been operating in the field all year round.

yeah? She is a woman in her sixties or seventies, and she is active outside all year round. She seems to have heard of similar characters?

Before Gale could say anything, the other party spoke first.

"I'm sorry, young man, for scaring away your prey." The man said apologetically: "That wind-drifting dragon that ran away, I will help find it as soon as possible."

"Ah? Ah! It's okay." Gale waved his hand, thinking about how to respond.

Shayan answered blankly: "Actually, none of us have ever received a mission."

The other party was stunned for a moment, "You're not a hunting target. Are you here to investigate the Fengdiaolong?"

Gale was about to say "yes" to fool him, but Sandstone beat him to it again.

"It's not Meow, we just want to find a fight with it Meow!"

"?" The man's eyes suddenly became strange, and he cast a scrutinizing look at Gale.

Gale raised his foot and kicked Sandstone aside, and said with a dry smile: "This cat is stupid, don't listen to its nonsense, it's nonsense!"

Ps.

I always thought that the name of Master Yuanye was "Yuanye", but then I looked at the setting album and found that it seemed, maybe, maybe not.

It should be Yuanye (field investigation) master corresponding to the title of swordsman master, but Yuanye is used as her name here, and everyone is used to it.
